My New Years Resolutions/How to be Eco-Friendly.

My new years resolutions and explanations:1. Be more Eco-FriendlyI'm going to try to be more eco-friendly this year by basically recycling more, reusing more, and using less plastic and avoid using anything I can't recycle. I can recycle plastic grocery bags at my local grocery store but because I have reusable bags I think it's better to reduce. I also am going to start bringing my own cup and utensils to restaurants that I would normally use plastic or paper at. I'm going to try not eating out but sometimes you can't avoid it. I do eat out with my friends every now and then, and I sometimes eat out when I don't have time to pack lunch. I am also going to try using reusable produce bags. I might also make a compost bin to put all the vegetable trash I don't feed Bella. Another way I might be more eco-friendly is buying wood items instead of plastic so they're biodegradable. Here are some materials I am planning on buying or I already own and I'm going to use:

2. Start going to the Gym, exercising more.I'm planning on going to the gym at least once a week. I want to start going for a walk around the neighborhood with the dog every night, and using my exercise ball. My goal is to lose some weight and gain muscle to be toned. 3. Write on my blog more.4. Spend less money on stuff I don't need.5. Get outside more. I feel like I need to start doing more outside, like camping, hiking, swimming, going to parks, etc. Well that's it! Please tell me what your new years resolutions are in the comments! (Don't use your real email to write a comment if that's what's stopping you.)

If you got mostly A's: A Bunny or Guinea pig! They love to be played with but can be put away when you're done with them. They're not a beginner pet though because they need lots of care.If you got mostly B's: A Hamster! Hamsters are super easy and love to run around for exercise. This is a good beginner pet.If you got mostly C's: A Dog! Dogs are a big commitment, they love to play, run, and cuddle. DOgs require training as a puppy so are more of an intermediate pet.If you got mostly D's: A Cat! Cats require training and care but aren't as attention seeking as dogs.If you got mostly E's: A Fish.... Yeah you don't really want a pet as much as more responsibility and something cute to look at.
